I This invention relates to a mascara case and has for its object toprovide a deviceof this class which is convenient to handle, simple toconstruct and easy to clean and replace or refill with a new cake ofcosmetic material. 1 Referring to the drawings: 1 Fig. 1 shows oneembodiment of this invention with the hinged cover raised.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a perspective of a metal stamping for holding the applicatorbrush.

Fi el is the metal receptacle for holding b the cake of mascara.

The metal box is shown as being pro- 35 vided with a cover portion 11hinged thereto and provided on the inside with amirror 12 secured withinthe cover, Within the main body portion of the'box 10 is a metalreceptacle 13 in which is placed a cake of mascara 14,

2a or other type of cosmetic.

A second metal receptacle or stamping 15 is provided with a longitudinaldepression therein for holding an applicator brush 16 provided withbristles 17 and the handle P01? tion indicated. The sides of thestamping 15 are bent down at 18 and 19 to form downturned flanges whichsupport the stamping 15 in the box 10.

The longitudinal depression is enlarged at 39 20 so that the brushhandle may be grasped and withdrawn more easily. Riveted to the frontside of the box 10 at 21 and carried on the inside of the front wall isthe metals rin 22 carr in the cover latch 23. This P e 5 z:

as extending out through, the front wall of the box lOand said latch 23engages the inv 8 side of an outwardly pressed portion 24 in the Thestamping 15 and receptacle 13 are so shaped as towedgingly orsubstantially tightly fit within the box. The top surface of thestamping 15 is enameled so that this surface maybe easily cleaned andthere will be no tendency for moisturetrom the brush to rust or corrodethe surface of the depression in latch 23 is actuated by the projectionshown V 13'and stamping lo within' the box 10. To

replace or refill the box the receptacle 13 is removed and eithercleaned or refilled with a new" cake 1401' else a new box l3icontaininga new cake l l is'inserted. Thestamping 3 lois-readily removed forcleaning. It will be seen thatthedownturned flange 18 is cut away at oneportion adjacent the brush bristles 17, Also'the opposite flange :19 iscut ai'vaycentrallyin the mannerindicated to no provide a recess inwhich the cover latch and its spring-may be movable. Since thereceptacle 13 isgenerally renewable with the, mascara cake 14, suchreceptacle is not generallyxenam'eled and it has been found that 5onl'ythe top surface of the'stamping 15 need be so protected by enamel.
